May Day in Yangshuo: Embark on a Dreamlike Journey Through Mountains and Rivers!

- Transportation: If coming from far away, it's recommended to fly to Guilin Liangjiang International Airport first, then take a bus to Yangshuo, which takes about 1.5 - 2 hours. You can also take a high-speed train to Guilin Station or Guilin North Station before heading to Yangshuo. If departing from nearby cities, taking a high-speed train directly to Yangshuo Station is convenient. After arriving at the station, you can take a shuttle bus, taxi, or shared car to Yangshuo County. In Yangshuo, renting an electric scooter is the most comfortable way to get around, allowing you to freely travel between attractions and stop anytime to enjoy the scenery. Rental costs about 30 - 80 yuan per day. - Accommodation: For a lively atmosphere, choose hotels or guesthouses near West Street to enjoy its bustling nightlife. For tranquility and beautiful scenery, areas near Yulong River are ideal choices where mountain and water landscapes greet you right outside your window. If budget allows, Banyan Tree Yangshuo or Yangshuo Sugar House Resort Hotel are excellent options offering premium vacation experiences. For value seekers, consider highly-rated characteristic guesthouses like Julong Town Resort Hotel, which offers moderate prices and beautiful scenery. - Food: Guilin rice noodles are a must-try, with smooth and chewy noodles paired with delicious broth and various toppings - incredibly satisfying with just one bite. Yangshuo Beer Fish is another signature dish, using fresh fish from the Li River stewed with beer, resulting in tender fish meat and rich broth. Other local specialties worth trying include Lipu taro with braised pork, bamboo tube chicken, and stuffed river snails. On West Street, you can also sample various snacks, desserts, and international cuisines. - Itinerary: - Day 1: Arrive in Yangshuo - check in to your hotel - stroll along West Street to experience the lively atmosphere and taste local food. - Day 2: Yulong River bamboo rafting (experience the feeling of "floating through a painting") - bike ride through Ten-Mile Gallery (enjoy the rural scenery along the way, with stops at the Big Banyan Tree, Moon Hill, and other attractions) - watch the "Impression Liu Sanjie" show in the evening (appreciate the unique charm of this natural landscape performance). - Day 3: Visit Xingping Ancient Town (find the scenery depicted on the 20 yuan banknote, explore the ancient streets and alleys) - return journey. - Day 4: If time permits, visit Silver Cave to admire the magical karst cave landscape, or go to Guilin Millennium Show Park to watch spectacular performances and experience Guilin's history, culture, and ethnic customs.
